Anxiety and depression
Hi Kathleen,
I think it's a great idea to start up this blog about anxiety and depression - as it certainly needs to be addressed. I myself suffer from panic attacks and I have a couple of people tell me "to just get over I". I wish it was that simple. I find that when I am tired I am worse.
Good on you for starting on this topic.
Love, Ruth xxx

Glad your trip went well, Bella. My Daughter went to Brisbane on wednesday as she also carries the braca 2 and the Lynch Syndrome. Although she is only 37, she is having a hysterectomy in early November as this will reduce the risk of her getting Breast Cancer. I am category 1 to have a colonoscopy and I saw the anestetist Yesterday. It is a constant round of appointments lately with physio, urologists etc. I am feeling good but tire easily.
Thanks Kathleen, I'm well. Back from our big holiday, and as I said...no missed flights, no luggage lost, nothing broken and we didn't get sick. Had a great time; now back at work.
Have got the ball rolling now with the surgeon re ovary/fallopian tube removal and have a couple of things lined up to talk with more people about bilateral mastectomy. Not sure what to do in that regard, so at this stae, will just gather as much information as I can in order to make an informed decision. Am going to an information day next month for BRCA1 and 2 carriers, hopefully will come away from that with a lot of info.
Glad you're enjoying your grandkids, I cant wait until I have some (even one would do :) ).
Take care,

- Hi Bella I'm fine. It happens like this with the posts-you get lots fir a time, then it goes quiet. I've had my medication changed-not sure if it's an improvement or not. Some days are great-others aren't. Apart from not much money, I'm good; still loving my days with grandkids. They keep me positive. Time is going too quick. How about you? Hugs Kathleen xx
Everyone has gone very quiet. Is everyone OK? Bella.

Hi Ladies,
I had to ignore this Neighbour because as well as the lies she starting asking me for money. That is not on . All the other Neighbours are for me which is good. I had my 50th Birthday on the 28th August. I celebrated it with our Support Group's 10th Birthday Party and had a great time. My Friend also put on a lovely Party at her place on the Saturday. She also took me to the Ginger Factory and Nutworks. I was totally spoilt. I'm glad everything is not so bad for you Husband, Finita and glad that you are having a great time. Bella. xxxxxxxxx
- Excellent news!
Hello to all my sisters,
I hope that you are all doing well.
Today we went to the doctor to get my husband fna & us results, and so far all is good , because it says that there was no malignancy in the cytology test . It appears to be fat necrosis ?? Anyway, he will see the surgeon in November to have the small lump removed and sent to pathology again. At least it doesn't appears to be sinister but we just have to wait and see.
love you all and take care

Hello Girls. Well, one of my other Neighbours tried to end her life because of this nasty, evil Woman. This nasty Woman rang housing and told her that she was using vulgarity and that I approached her and abused her. Both lies. When the other Neighbour rang housing they accused us of this because the nasty Neighbour is a compulsive lier and fed them a sob story and tried to get us put out but nobody in the units likes her anyway. She is smoking pot and is bi-polar which is not a good combination. Anyway, someone is coming on Tuesday to help us out and we have witnesses. I don't know why People behave like this when all I want is a peaceful life without the hastle. Maybe she sees me enjoying my life and is jealous. Who knows? Anyway, thanks for all your support and I will keep you posted. Love Ruth xxx
